Characterization of Gut Microbiota in Patients with Active Spreading Vitiligo Based on Whole-Genome Shotgun Sequencing.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin disease with a significant psychological burden and complex pathogenesis. While genetic factors contribute approximately 30% to its development, recent evidence suggests a crucial role of the gut microbiome in autoimmune diseases. This study investigated differences in gut microbiome composition and metabolic pathways between active spreading vitiligo patients and healthy controls using shotgun whole-genome sequencing in a Korean cohort. Taxonomic profiling reveals distinct characteristics in microbial community structure, with vitiligo patients showing an imbalanced proportion dominated by Actinomycetota and Bacteroidota. The vitiligo group exhibited significantly reduced abundance of specific species including
